US Visa on Old Passport with Cancelled Stamp

US Visa on Old Passport with Cancelled Stamp - Granite statue of civil rights movement leader against overcast sky

I have a US B1/B2 visa on my old passport. The old passport has a cancelled stamp on the second page. The visa is still intact with no physical damage. My new passport is of the same type and has the same name as in my old passport. I have read on travel.state.gov that it should be fine. I am a bit concerned about the 'cancelled' stamp on the old passport. The bio page on the old passport is completely legible and of course the visa is perfectly intact without any damage. Can someone tell me if I will have any issues travelling to the states?

Is visa valid on Cancelled passport?

Do I have to apply for a new visa? No, you do not need to apply for new visa. The visa will remain valid even if it is in your old, cancelled passport.

What happens if I have a valid visa on an expired passport?

If a U.S. visa has been issued on a passport that has expired, you should carry both your new passport and the expired passport containing your valid visa. There is no need to re-apply for a new visa unless the visa term has itself expired.

Can I transfer my US visa from old passport to new passport?

U.S. visas cannot be transferred from one passport to another. You can travel to the United States with both passports, or you can apply for a new visa. As long as the four names match from the old passport to the new passport, and are in the same order, you may travel with both passports.

Can I enter US with expired visa stamp?

Nonimmigrant visa holders are allowed to re-enter the United States with an expired visa stamp after a short trip to Canada or Mexico, as long as they meet all eligibility requirements.
